Naguri Santoku Knife [made with Tadafusa, Kaneko Sogyo]

Forged from SLD steel, renowned for its sharpness and edge retention, this blade is a cut above the rest.

SLD steel is a high-carbon steel known for its hardness and ability to hold a sharp edge. It's a popular choice for professional and high-end kitchen knives.

The handle of this knife has a distinctive textured surface. This is achieved through a traditional Japanese hammering technique called "naguri-kakou." It not only provides a better grip but also adds a beautiful visual element to the knife.

Sanjo, located in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, is renowned for its long history of producing exceptional cutlery and metalwork. The fact that everything from the blade to the packaging is made in Sanjo speaks to the craftsmanship and attention to detail involved in making this knife.
